The Grass Dance originated as a warrior society dance, but has evolved into a highly-competitive form of
Powwow dancing. A Grass Dance outfit has almost a complete absence of feathers, aside from the roach feather,
as there are no bustles worn. The outfit normally consists of a shirt and pants, with beaded
belt, side tabs, armbands, cuffs, harness, front and back aprons, headband and moccasins. Ribbons and fringe are the only mobile parts of
the outfit, other than the roach feather.
